Today is Thanksgiving in Canada. Another holiday, another day without my husband. Every year we usually have Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house with my mom's side of the family. The 1st year we went out of town instead.
This year it kind of hit me at the dinner how sad it was to not only have my husband missing but also my cousin who just passed away 2 1/2 months ago. His wife was there and I thought about how she must be feeling when the loss is so fresh and raw and new. It also made me think about my uncle who passed away 5 years ago. All these family members now missing from our annual thanksgiving tradition. On Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my family, but I am sad and miss those that are no longer with us.
